Phoenician Financial Planning's focus is on helping with retirees or those approaching retirement. Our planning goal is to determine if you have enough money saved for retirement, when best to claim Social Security benefits, and how best to transition from earning a paycheck to living off retirement savings. We can either manage retirement and brokerage accounts directly or recommend a liquidation strategy you can manage on your own.
Planning isn't just for retirees. Our services also help younger clients that are starting to save, local small business owners, and government employees enrolled in the Arizona State Retirement System. Planning for these clients focuses on both current and future goals, investment management, and tax strategies that minimize expenses. Financial plans can be tailored to a variety of unique circumstances.
Investment management is individually focused on your goals, comfort with market risk, and the investment time horizon. Portfolios are primarily constructed using low cost, diversified exchange traded funds. Actively managed mutual funds can be used to further diversify a portfolio and reduce investment risk. Individual stocks or bonds, REITs, and UITs can be used on a discretionary basis to provide value above your investment benchmark.
Independent Fiduciary
A fiduciary is required to put their client's needs ahead of their own. Not all financial professionals are fiduciaries. Banks, insurance companies, and investment firms may claim to act as fiduciaries, but often do so in a limited capacity. Working with CFP Professional is the best way to safeguard your fiancial future.
Socially Responsible
Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) funds allow you to invest your money into causes you believe in. Socially responsible investing (SRI), also known as sustainable, socially conscious, green, or ethical investing, is shaping the future. We build custom investment strategies that consider both financial returns as well as the social causes clients request.
Fee Only Advisor
Traditionally, financial advisors are paid a commission each time clients purcahse an investment. There is an inherent conflict of interest with working that way. In order to provide objective advice, I work under a fee only model. Clients can pay by the hour, project, or retain ongoing services through a percentage of the investment assets managed.
